Plot Overview

In New York, Tracy calls Russ and tells him of her visit to see Rachel. When Russ hangs up, Russ tells Olivia there is something going on that may change his and Tracy's lives. Larry comes home and finds Blaine with Clarice. Then Blaine invites them to dinner. Cecile remembers Amy telling her that Miranda is after Mac. Then she decides that Mac will be in court for the verdict and decides to go under the pretense of being with Jamie. Blaine tells Jordan that she has invited Larry and Clarice over for dinner and would like him to join them. Jordan likes the idea of the high and mighty cop having dinner with him and agrees to it. As the verdict is about to be read, Mac enters the courtroom. The foreman tells the court that Rachel Cory has been found guilty of murder in the 2nd degree and Judge Baker sentences her to prison for 5-8 years with 48 hours to report to it. Then the press goes after Mac. Colton tells Mac he is sorry for the pain he caused him. Mac tells Colton he will never believe Rachel was capable of murder. As Tracy rehearses with Jason and Dooley in the recording studio, she remembers her talk with Rachel about the baby. Then Russ calls and tells her that Rachel has been found guilty. Russ also tells Tracy they will have to wait and see what Mac wants to do before they make any plans about the baby. Then Tracy doesn't want to rehearse but Jason tells her to use her sadness in her singing because life is full of sadness as well as happiness that people can relate to. Rachel tells Ada she can't believe she is going to jail and that she is afraid Amanda will forget her. Then Brian enters and tells them that Mac is right outside and would like to see Rachel. Before Ada leaves the room she cautions Rachel not to make decisions without Mac but Rachel tells her her mind is made up. Mac tells Rachel he will never believe that she murdered Mitch. Then Rachel tells Mac that she has made arrangements to have Tracy and Russ raise the baby and that she is going to give him a divorce. Mac wants to talk more but Rachel tells him she can't so he leaves. As Brian gives a statement to the press, Mac comes out and Cecile catches him and asks him how he is doing because she is worried about him. Russ tries leaving a message for Tracy and then Olivia tells him she hasn't heard anything from Robert. Then Olivia invites him and Tracy to dinner tomorrow night. Russ tells her he doesn't know if Tracy will be back but he agrees to come. Larry and Clarice have a drink with Jordan and Blaine and then Blaine leaves and Larry tells Blaine she has done okay for herself. When Larry and Clarice get home he suggests that maybe they need a bigger place. Clarice tells Larry she is happy the way they are. Jamie stops by the Complex to see Cecile and asks her to have dinner with him because he doesn't want to be alone right now. He also tells Cecile that when they made love it was as if they were still engaged. Cecile reminds Jamie that they are just friends and says she has a lot of work to do tonight for Brava. So Jamie leaves. Mac visits Russ and Russ asks Mac to try and look at the fact that while Rachel was wrong to deceive him her motives were pure. Russ also tells him that it should be his decision about who raises the baby. Mac tells Russ he thinks that that is Rachel's decision. Then he asks Russ to remember how he felt when he learned the Jamie wasn't his child but Steve Frame's baby. Mac tells Russ that is exactly how he feels now.
